The eventual destruction of the Jesuit Universidad Centroamericana in Nicaragua was no doubt inevitable, but even so the details in this report of how it has been done and what is replacing it add to the sense of outrage. https://t.co/Svxg3QaHLF

Quite, but Starmer and Blair seem to need to learn this lesson as well. https://t.co/QUfK4CWFLK

On the 75th anniversary of Windrush, the gov asks grassroots orgs to help highlight the 'positive' aspects of Caribbean migration. When this (predictably) doesn't go their way, the Home Office then withholds the money & cancels their funding. Obscene. https://t.co/nTZxm0zQ9o

A very valuable and thought-provoking analysis.

Purging Bolsonarismo is no easy task, writes @safbf. "The essence of Bolsonarismo is extreme, and it is a potent force for radicalizing people towards authoritarian and violent positions." https://t.co/xNZRuyeaEC

The Bolsonaro supporters who invaded the institutional heart of democratic government in Brasilia may seem like idiots whose cause was doomed from the start, but this event revealed wider complicities that will continue to challenge the Lula government.

Anxiously awaiting the result of today’s second round presidential elections, we need to think sobering analytical thoughts about the challenges that the advances of the far right present to Lula even assuming he will win. Many are not unique to Brazil. https://t.co/uc0wkRKa1r

A great loss. As his later writings showed when the COVID-19 pandemic hit, Mike Davis’s prescience remained remarkable.
